Information Concerning English Bulldogs For Sale

By Matthew Nelson


The English Bulldog is at times called British Bulldog or bulldog. Like the name suggests, the breed owes its origin to England and its history is a bloody one. The modern-day breed descended from the fighting mastiffs brought by Romans into the British Isles to engage in bullbaiting, a bloody sport. When one needs to purchase an English Bulldogs for sale, this article may be able to help with making the choice.

There is slight resemblance between the modern-day breed and the ancestors. The modern breed lacks the ferociousness of the old mastiffs used in bullbaiting sports. The appearance is very distinct from other dogs, which makes mistaking it for other dogs very unlikely. The body is low-slung and medium in size. The muzzle is short and the head is shaped like a square. Although short, the breed has broad shoulders, sturdy limbs, and a broad and thick body.

A bulldog has round, dark eyes. The ears are small and thin and are usually folded backwards. The cheeks extend to the sides of the eye and the skin in most parts of the face is dense and wrinkled. Because the lower jaw is undershot, the lower teeth tend to stick out compared to the upper teeth. The dog has very strong jaws for latching on to an opponent.

This breed of dog has a short, flat, and sleek coat that may have one color or multiple colors. The most commonly observed colors are piebald, brindle, white, red, and fawn. A male dog has a standard weight that ranges between 20 and 25 kilograms while the female ranges in weight between 18 and 23 kilograms. However, according to recommendations, a standard animal should weigh between 18 kilograms and 23 kilograms.

The tail of a bulldog is naturally short and may be screwed or straight. Because of the short length of the tail, it is usually not docked or cut like in other many breeds. The standards regulating the breed describe a straight tail as being more desirable compared to one that is screwed.

The ancestors of modern bulldogs were not as sociable and sweet as those that exist today. The modern breed is courageous, and will always make a good watchdog. They sometimes become stubborn despite being lively, easygoing, and friendly in most cases. They grow lazy as they age, which makes them unwilling to participate in walks even though it is a vital requirement for good health. Bulldogs bark only on rare occasions, but are excellent watchdogs.

The temperament of a bulldog varies depending on certain factors. Training, socialization, and heredity are among those factors. Puppies with good temperaments love human company will always allow themselves to be carried and touched. To achieve good socialization, one should expose puppies to different sites, sounds, lights, experiences, and people. Mature dogs and puppies exhibit slow learning abilities, but never forget what they learn.

There are certain conditions and diseases to which all bulldogs are prone. Some of the diseases are genetic, which makes it important to choose puppies from healthy parents. The breeder one buys from must be certified and responsible too.
